“It’s already over 400,000!”
“Wasn’t it just over 300,000 a moment ago? It’s increasing fast!”
Yang Hao expressed his amazement.
“Yeah, at this rate, the video’s likes should break through a million soon, becoming a viral sensation across the net.”
Ye Shuyuan’s mind was quick, and she immediately understood Yang Hao’s intention and cooperated in her response.
The back and forth between the two confused Lü Peng, who was clearly there to talk about share acquisition, but somehow the conversation had turned to a video.
But he wasn’t a fool and knew Yang Hao wouldn’t digress for no reason.
“Director Yang, may I ask what video it is?”
Lü Peng hadn’t seen the video online, so he simply asked.
“Uncle Lü, I have the video right here, you can see for yourself!”
Ye Shuyuan handed her phone directly to Lü Peng, and Lu Mingzhe, who was also unaware of the video, hurriedly leaned in to watch.
Next, the father and son watched the video intently.
After viewing it, both of their faces changed dramatically, especially Lu Mingzhe’s—he knew Zhao Hu!
Though he had heard that Zhao Hu and his gang were taken down by Yang Hao alone, seeing it with his own eyes had a different impact.
Especially since the content of the video was nothing like what Lu Mingzhe had imagined; he thought that even if Yang Hao had taken down Zhao Hu and his men alone, he would have been in a sorry state!
But it turned out to be so effortless!
What Lü Peng was considering, naturally, was not a matter of how effortlessly it was done, but the impact of the video’s exposure!
This was in Hucheng!
In broad daylight, a billionaire worth hundreds of billions and a nationally famous host were attacked by kidnappers!
Even though the attempt failed, the impact of the incident was unimaginable!
The pressure from the police and the officials was expected to be immense!
If Lu Mingzhe, the manipulator behind the scenes, were to be exposed, strict and severe measures would certainly be taken!
If things went as expected, the entirety of Mingzhe’s background would be revealed, and the Lu Family would be thrust into the spotlight, fully exposed to public scrutiny.
Should such a situation arise, the enemies of the Lu Family would definitely take the opportunity to kick them while they were down!
For a major family like the Lu Family, they could not withstand a thorough investigation!
The consequences would be unthinkable!
With these thoughts, cold sweat suddenly began to form on Lü Peng’s forehead!
“Director Lü, what are your thoughts?”
“Can we talk about the acquisition of the shares now?”
Seeing the moment was ripe, Yang Hao spoke cheerfully.
“Yes, we can!”
Lü Peng pondered for a short moment, then nodded solemnly.
What?
Seeing this, Lu Mingzhe who had not held a post within Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, was completely dumbfounded. He knew the significance of the Group to his family; his company and other family businesses all depended on Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group!
If they really sold all the shares, the family would be severely weakened!
That’s why, when Yang Hao proposed to buy the shares, he never thought his father would sell them.
However, now his father was changing his tune, and naturally, it was a shock to him!
Lü Peng glared at his prodigal son, cursing in his heart: If it weren’t for you, how could we have ended up in this mess!
Of course, under the current circumstances, Lü Peng couldn’t lash out and could only note this reprimand for later.
“Director Yang, I really do care for Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group. Could you leave me half of the 12% shares?”
Lü Peng knew the shares had to be sold, but he didn’t want to sell them all since many family businesses were connected to the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
If they sold all the shares, the companies tied to the Group would be in a difficult position.
Therefore, he still hoped to retain some of the shares.
Yang Hao shook his head, “I understand what Director Lü is worried about.”
“I can assure you, even if the Lu Family no longer holds shares in the Group, the Group’s collaboration with companies related to the Lu Family will not cease.”
“This…”
Lü Peng’s brows furrowed, and from Yang Hao’s attitude, it was clear there was no room for negotiation.
“Yang, don’t push me too far!”
“If we don’t sell the shares, what can you do about it?”
“Forced buying and selling won’t work!”
Lu Mingzhe was already full of resentment, and seeing Yang Hao now trying to acquire all of their family’s shares, he instantly couldn’t hold back and burst out.
“You motherfucker, shut your mouth!!”
Before Yang Hao could respond,
Lü Peng cursed with a black face, his gaze as cold as ice. If it hadn’t been for Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan being present, he would have rushed over and slapped his good-for-nothing son several times.
You brought this disaster on yourself!
And you’re still fanning the flames now!

Clearly, Lu Mingzhe had no comprehension of the chain reaction that would be triggered by the viral explosion of the video.
After being scolded, Lu Mingzhe shrank back; he wouldn’t dare talk back to his own father and could only glare at Yang Hao with venom.
“It seems Mr. Lu’s apology just now was insincere!”
Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders, then turned to Lü Peng and said, “Originally, I was planning to offer the market value, but now, for the 12% shares, I’ll offer 10 billion!”
“Go back and think it over properly!”
“You have one day.”
